Bellator champ Will Brooks claims Pitbull brothers jumped him while on the phone with his mother

Just two days from defending his title against Marcin Held, Bellator lightweight champion Will Brooks claimed in a tweet that the Pitbull brothers, Patricio and Patricky Freire, jumped him.

Patricio is the Bellator featherweight champion and older brother Patricky fights in the same division as champion Will Brooks in the Bellator lightweight division. Patricio also defends his title against Daniel Straus on Friday at Bellator 145.

Pitbull brothers showed me what cowards they are. They jumped me while I was on the phone with my mom.

Punch me while I'm being held back by your people. Cowards

I've never had to sucker punch or jump anyone I held things on my own but these cowards aren't built like real men

I'm still pretty and still focused on my fight even though these cowards jumped me. We have video

After authorities are able to check out footage I will make sure everyone can see what those cowards are really made of.

UPDATE: Patricio Freire fires back at Will Brooks: ‘He hit Patricky first and came at me’
